Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the TAXUS PERSEUS Workhorse trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the next-generation Boston Scientific TAXUS paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent system (TAXUS® ElementTM) for the treatment of de novo atherosclerotic lesions of up to 28 mm in length in native coronary arteries of 2.75 mm to 4.0 mm diameter.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, 3:1 randomization, multi-center trial to assess the TAXUS® Element™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System for the treatment of de novo atherosclerotic lesions of up to 28 mm in length in native coronary arteries ≥ 2.75 mm and ≤ 4.0 mm in diameter, compared to a control group of TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System .

One thousand two hundred sixty-four (1264) subjects will be treated with either the TAXUS® Element™ stent or the TAXUS® Express2 ™stent at a maximum of 100 clinical sites. Randomization to treatment group will be unbalanced 3:1 towards the test group to gain maximum clinical experience with the new TAXUS® Element™ platform. Follow-up at 30 days, 9 months and 12 months will be completed in all subjects enrolled in the study. Angiographic follow-up at 9 months will be completed in a subset of three hundred thirty (330) subjects enrolled in the study. Subjects will be randomly allocated to the angiographic subset at participating sites through the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS).

Eligible subjects will have annual follow-up until 5 years post-index procedure.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Subject is ≥ 18 years old
* Eligible for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
* Documented stable angina pectoris (Canadian Cardiovascular Society \[CCS\] Classification 1, 2, 3, or 4) or unstable angina pectoris (Braunwald Class IB-C, IIB-C, or IIIB-C), or documented silent ischemia
* Acceptable candidate for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is ≥ 30%
* Subject (or legal guardian) understands the study requirements and the treatment procedures and provides written Informed Consent before any study-specific tests or procedures are performed

* Target Lesion

* Target lesion located in native coronary artery
* Target lesion must be de novo
* Target lesion diameter stenosis ≥ 50%

* Target lesion is successfully pre-dilated
* One non-target lesion may be treated in a non-target vessel as follows:

* Non-target lesion in non-target vessel must be treated with commercially available TAXUS stent if use of drug eluting stent required
* Treatment must be deemed a clinical angiographic success, without requiring use of unplanned additional stents(s)
* Treatment must be completed prior to treatment of target vessel

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous treatment with intravascular brachytherapy in the target vessel
* Planned PCI or CABG post-index procedure
* Planned or actual target vessel treatment with an unapproved device, directional or rotational coronary atherectomy, laser, cutting balloon or transluminal extraction catheter immediately prior to stent placement

* Positive pregnancy test within 7 days before the index procedure, or lactating

* Target lesion is a chronic total occlusion (TIMI flow ≤ 1)
* Target lesion is restenotic
* Target lesion is located in a saphenous vein graft or mammary artery graft
* Target lesion is accessed via saphenous vein graft or mammary artery graft
* Target lesion is \< 5 mm from bare metal stent (BMS)
* Target lesion \< 5 mm from ostium
* Target lesion \< 5 mm from side branch vessel ≥ 2.0 mm in diameter (Exceptions: subject may be enrolled if side branch is 100% occluded or if side branch is protected with a patent graft)
* Untreated lesions with ≥ 50% diameter stenosis or thought to impair flow remaining in target vessel at a location with ≥ 2.0mm RVD
